This Advent, we want to share an inspiring story with you; a journey that started with a simple gift and went on to change a young boy's life.

Today in an area that was the setting for the original Christmas story, peace is scarce. Twelve-year-old Waleed Badir has experienced both personal and political unrest, as he's struggled with his severe deafness in the occupied Palestinian territory.

During the month of October Holmfirth Methodist Church have been collecting for the Methodist Relief & Development Fund's Harvest Appeal. The money collected will be distributed around the world to help farmers in poorer areas to produce the food needed to support their neighbourhoods.

£15 Could train two Togolese farmers in new agricultural techniques, helping them to increase their crop yield.

Last weeks Harvest Festival celebrations at Holmfirth once again saw people bringing gifts of dired and tinned foods and stationary to be donated to Christian African Relief Trust (CART). These gifts will go towards education projects and eradicating poverty in Africa.

During our Harvest Festival in 2010, we collected food and educational items for the Christian African Relief Trust (CART). These were shipped to Malawi to be distributed to projects working to eradicate extreme poverty.
